Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the signals that govern the network of meristem and organ identity genes that control flower development. In Arabidopsis, we can induce a heterochronic switch from flower to shoot development, a process known as floral meristem reversion, by manipulating photo-period in the floral homeotic mutant agamous and in plants heterozygous for the meristem identity gene leafy. The transformation from...
